In honor of the passing of Dear Abby, for today only I'll be giving out free relationship advice.

Ask away, it's Friday, I need distractions.

Carefully disassemble the body by removing the two screws found behind each ear and prying her open at the buttcrack. Remove the brain and the innards. The brain you can probably re-use in your next girlfriend. Throw the innards in the compost pile and process the rest just like you would any other chunk of meat.

Don't forget to retrieve the food stamps.

Dear Elinda,

My wife and I have a new son who is 7 months old and an older girl who is 7 years old. We recently sold a car and are presently down to just a Toyota Carrola for the 4 of us. We don't drive much, but when we do it's frequently long trips through frozen wastelands. Can you recommend a new family vehicle for us? I'm partial to wagons, but my wife prefers SUVs. We'll probably buy a Subaru Outback regardless of your opinion, but you know, we're open to suggestion.

Oh, a few caveats:

We won't buy an American car, we hate America.
My wife won't allow us to buy a Korean car, as she says "they're a cruel race"

What with road rage, frost heaves and careless mooses, I'd avoid the roadways altogether.

With just a couple strategically placed landing pads transport by cannon is quite economical.

Dear Elinda,

This guy I've been having some good-natured fun with over the internet just found out I'm not really the girl he apparently fell in madly love with. I'm stuck back-peddling a little now. Do you have any advice? Or maybe a good alibi?

Isn't it a Prius these days? Smiley: confused

I can't keep up with trends.

Prius is for the elite-wannabes. The real elites with cash don't waste their time on the toy cars until you reach super-elite status: they'll get Teslas.

Anything short of a sex-change operation and you're just fooling yourself.

Be brave young she-man.

This, in fact, used to be true, but you were given a choice between the Volvo or the Saab. Then a few things happened. GM bought Saab and destroyed the brand, and Volvo did produce placement in Twilight and inexplicably stopped making Wagons.

So now it's the choice of an Outback, a TSX Wagon, or various douchebag SUVs. The 5 series wagon used to be acceptable, but now it reeks too much of conspicuous consumption. The Jetta TDI wagon is sometimes thought acceptable, but it's really too small for us.

Dear Elinda,

My husband is a bed hog. He ends up in the middle, with most of the blankets, and I usually wake up shoved to one side about to fall off. He blames the cat, who does have a tendency to settle around his knees, taking up a third of the bed by himself.

How can I convince him we need to upgrade to a king size bed?

Follow up question then: can I borrow 5 bucks?

If you go with the TSX wagon, get it in black. You can pretend to be secret service (or maybe you don't have to pretend).

We've actually considered that very car. It's overpriced in the US, though. If we lived in Europe, we'd likely own an Accord wagon.

Dear Elinda,

Recently I became engaged and we're now planning the wedding (hopefully for June). My usually drama-free fiancé — who has said in the past she didn't fantasize about a huge wedding and a perfect day — is now determined to have the "perfect" wedding. My questions are two-fold: what is it about weddings that make even usually sane women completely insane? Why does my argument that we should try to be more frugal on the wedding but go to a memorable location on the honeymoon fall on deaf ears?

Smash, just get the Subaru. Best AWD of any of them, reliable, and they've fixed the inexplicable wheel vibration that plagued the 2011's.

Dear Elinda,

Now that my husband stays at home all day long with an infant, he refuses to get a hair cut and looks more like a mushroom every day. How can I explain to him gently that regardless of his disdain for the smelliness and "product content" of hair salons, I don't feel like cutting his hair and also have never been attracted to a member of the Beetles?

Thank you,

Nexa

You could always go with one of those XC models Volvo makes.

Dear Elinda,

My wife wants me to get a hair cut. Chicks dig the "basic training" look, don't they?

No one thinks you're funny. If you shave your head, I'm getting a pixie cut.
